Digital Monsters 3 (數碼暴龍水晶版3, also known as Digimon 3 Ultra Dream Version / Crystal Version and Digimon Ruby) is a bootleg game for the Game Boy Color, released in 2001.

Overview

The game, while featuring characters from the Digimon Adventures anime, seems to have its own plot. The player can choose from the eight main characters to play as, though all it changes is the starter Digimon and player graphics.

It plays similarly to the Pokémon games, but instead of using items to capture an enemy during battle the player must give the wild Digimon enough of an item they enjoy (categorized between vaccine, virus and data) and defeat them. The Digimon evolve by leveling up to a certain point and then do so manually at their base, which the player can choose depending on what base guard they talked to first. The Digimon the player obtains from the base leader depends on which one they chose.
